Abstract The North Qaidam ultra-high pressure metamorphic (UHPM) belt in the northern
Tibetan Plateau records a complete history of the evolution of a continental orogen from …

Partial melting at continental lithosphere depths plays an important role in generating
geochemical variations in igneous rocks. In particular, dehydration melting of ultrahigh …

The zirconium-in-rutile thermometer enjoys widespread use, but confidence in its accuracy
is limited because experiments were conducted at higher temperatures than many rutile …

Rutile is a robust heavy mineral that can survive multiple sedimentary cycles. It is common in
high-grade metamorphic rocks and hydrothermally-altered rocks. Hence, it can be a …

Metamorphic rutile from granulite facies metapelitic rocks of the Archean Pikwitonei
Granulite Domain (PGD; Manitoba, Canada) provides constraints on the systematics of trace …

Zr-in-rutile thermometry was applied to ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) granulites from three
localities, Dongpo, Tuguishan, and Dajing/Tuguiwula of the Khondalite belt, North China …

Zirconium, as a high field strength element, has been widely used to trace the differentiation
of terrestrial planets. It is also a major constituent in zircon, an important accessory mineral …

Mafic eclogites are found in many orogens as lenses embedded in quartzofeldspathic
migmatites. These high‐pressure relics are interpreted either as remnants of ancient sutures …

The Zr content of rutile was analysed by both EMP and LA-ICPMS for low-T/UHP eclogite
and enclosed kyanite–quartz veins in the Dabie orogen, China. Zr-in-rutile temperatures …

Abstract The East Kunlun orogenic belt in the northern Tibetan Plateau records a long-term
accretionary and collisional history in the northeastern Proto-Tethys Ocean, which is …
